[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764580, member: 18958"] I have only one child too. I raised him by myself. He is my only family. I know how you feel. Why write the end of the story, until it is known? You don't know what he will do. You don't know what you'll do. Your life is still to be written. So is his. You don't have to answer the question to other people. You can tell the truth. I don't feel comfortable talking about him right now. Me too. I would want my son in my life in such a way that it did not cause pain, worry, dread, and fear. More and more I accept reality as it is. I have a girlfriend with two sons much older than my son. One is in his fifties—the other forties. They have houses in the best part of town, children, wives, careers, etc. They help their mother out. They take responsibility. My son is so far from this as not to be in the same universe. I feel anger at these men. I am seldom envious. But I get angry (silently) when she speaks of them. I knew both boys when they were kids. Anymore, I don't like them! So? We're human. The thing is I accept myself. I accept that I have a soft, bruised part. I accept that I am more than my weakest link. I accept that life happens to everybody. I accept that none of us is promised a rose garden. Do I like the thorns? Not one bit. I am learning to accept what is and to be grateful for what I have. I love my son and I wouldn't want a do-over. In your situation, your son has so many skills that it is unclear how this will all turn out. Why not let this play out and take one step at a time? You are doing so well. [/QUOTE]
